1951 Map of Beaver

About this map

The Yukon River carves a complex path through this Alaskan interior landscape, creating a dense network of sloughs and marshes known as the Beaver Flats. This 1951 survey records the isolated settlements of Beaver and Stevens along the riverbanks, alongside several remote Cabins that served as trapper or traveler shelters in the mid-century wilderness. The map is centered on a significant geographical marker, the Arctic Circle, which bisects the territory between the high peaks of Dall Mtn and Lone Mtn. To the south, the haunting label of Purgatory (Aban'd) suggests a former habitation or landmark lost to time. Significant waterways like the Hodzana River and Hadweenzic River drain from the northern ridges, including Twentynine Mile Ridge, into the expansive Yukon basin.
